CESD, in partnership with IDRC have produced a short documentary on the recent process to establish a minimum wage in Myanmar.

The documentary explores some of the drivers behind the establishment of minimum wage legislation, the process for determining the level of the new minimum wage, and the impact of the minimum wage. The perspectives of diverse stakeholders are presented, including representatives of the government, businesses and workers.

Further information about CESD’s labour market reform project, including our work on the establishment of a minimum wage, is available under Programs > Labour market reform.

The documentary was filmed in January 2016 and is available for viewing on YouTube, or for download from the CESD website (9:23 minutes; 687 Mb).
